The Crazy Eight, also written as Crazy 8,[1][2] is an item introduced in Mario Kart 8. Very much like its predecessor from Mario Kart 7, the Lucky Seven, the Crazy Eight gives the player eight items to use at once, circling around the vehicle where other racers can feel their effects if they run into one, while also being obtainable only by human players and unavailable to COM players. The only functional difference between the Lucky Seven and Crazy Eight is that the Crazy Eight contains a coin item as well as the other items the Lucky Seven has. In Hyrule Circuit and Animal Crossing, the Coin in the Crazy Eight is replaced with a Rupee or a Bell respectively. The Crazy Eight does not appear in type-specific item settings or Battle Mode. It is named after the shedding-type card game, and its visual representation in item slots is the "8" from the game's logo, having a design based on the Möbius strip.

The Crazy Eight returns in the Nintendo Switch port of Mario Kart 8, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, where it keeps its original function, although the "8" now has a gradient pattern, with half turquoise and half magenta, like the game's logo, and it is also much less common. When the item settings are set to Custom Items, the items turned off are removed and replaced with duplicates of other items; if none of the eight available items for Crazy Eight are turned on and the Crazy Eight is turned on, the Mushroom is automatically turned on.
